Flit - Bug Kewpie®

The Kewpie® Flower & Bug Collection began in 1999 with "Fleur" and "Flit" made exclusively for the 50th Anniversary of the United Federation of Doll Clubs - UFDC.

Like other R. John Wright Kewpies®, these authentic, licensed, Rose O'Neill characters are constructed of the finest all-wool felt which is molded, sewn, stuffed, and delicately hand-painted. Standing 6" tall, each is five-way jointed for poseability and include the trademark tiny blue Kewpie wings on the shoulders. These are the perfect 'cabinet-size' Kewpies!

Flit was the first of the Kewpie® bugs. He featured a padded chest panel delineated with embroidery thread and separate back panels with dot appliques. Flit wears a close-fitting cap with felt antennae and in one hand he holds a delicately detailed felt flower.

Flit was made in a limited edition of 250 pieces. He came enclosed in a custom-made hinged presentation case with a signed and numbered certificate of authenticity and the forms for owner registration.

The Flit Kewpie offered here is number two of only five Artist Proofs made and comes directly from R. John Wright Archives in pristine as-new condition.
